Greetings
Hi, I’m Coach Wild Bill (Bill McCormack Jr.),
and I am a songwriter and performer of original music for children.
The music focuses on applied psychology, human growth and
development, life lessons and skills, and character
education for young children.
“The Audience is the Show” puts the focus on children participating
through singing along, playing air band, dancing and discussing how
the message of the song affects them and applies in their lives.
The lyrics to my songs are educational. I invite you to click on the
menu items, “Song Lyrics” and “Psych Summary”, to read through my
songs and the life lessons taught in each song.
Click on each of the four
song titles listed below the menu item “Sample Songs” to hear those
songs. Musically my songs
are fun to sing, and the words have substance and meaning. My
primary target audience is K through 5th grade. For preschoolers I
use my simpler songs and keep the kids’ parts simple, repetitive and
active.
I have written my songs to help kids learn about being a human being
and how to be a happy human being. I explore what we think,
what we feel and what we do. How do we deal with making
mistakes, getting along with teammates, learning from others, doing
homework that is intimidating, learning to respect others,
expressing our feelings constructively, coping with emotional pain,
learning to become responsible, learning to love ourselves and
others, setting goals and making plans, accepting consequences of
behavior, handling adversity? How do we live everyday life and
survive and thrive? Each song delivers a small life lesson
about applied psychology to help us deal with daily issues. We
learn
about ourselves and how we can create our own happiness.
My goal is to help children learn how to create their own happiness.
Virtually all of our behavior is learned so we have to learn how to
be a human being. We can only control ourselves, and we have
to learn healthy and constructive ways to deal with our own
thoughts, feelings and actions and with other people and the events
in our lives. Hopefully, the life lessons in my songs
reinforce the values that parents, religious leaders, teachers and
coaches strive to instill in our children. Through learning
how to be a human being, we can learn to create our own happiness.
Thanks for stopping by and reading,
Coach Wild Bill
